Get to Know Me

So this is what I'm thinking....

you have creative ideas or a project that you want to put into action but you just need some help with strategizing and directing so that you can tell and sell your story.

you are a multi-passionate creative professional or artistprenuer and you want to maximize your creative offerings and hone your skills..

And, now you are in need of guide to help you show and tell your most authentic story

This is where I step in.

As a multi-passionate/multi-disciplined creative, artist, and professional ideator, I UNDERSTAND the importance your visual and internal story being told to your desired audience

I feel you.

I know how it feels when your story that is being told through your images and your creative and artistic offerings are not authentic.

They don't tell or show who you are. They don’t allow you to SHOW UP and be presented FULLY.

I'm Bessie, head creator in charge at Bessie Akuba Creative, LLC intuitively creating at the intersection of art, photography, communication, culture, and motherhood AND I'm here to help YOU tell and show your story and beautify your space-whatever that space may be.

So, a little bit about me *lets get that out of the way ;)* I was born in Axim, Ghana and raised in Atlanta, Georgia (so you can call me a Ghanaian Peach..tee hee). My passion is helping people tell their stories through imagery, words, and experiences. As a creative who is inspired by culture, travel, beauty, and the arts, I thrive on helping people connect with what moves them and turn what moves them into beautiful moments and opportunities.

In my past creative life, I've acted in regional theatre productions, independent films, did a few pageants, and sang in front of a few audiences. I also founded a non-profit organizationthat empowers young women to create their own media and provides scholarships and resources.

From Germany to Atlanta to Hawaii to Washington, D.C; I have worked with and photographed people to help them better tell their story. When you work with me, we partner together to capture the essence of your spirit into your images. I’m intuitive, I know IT when I see IT. And feel IT. I’m honest and I work on creative trust.
